Arrow functions are not defined with "function", instead you'll declare it as a variable. Changing "function" to "const" will solve the syntax of your arrow function. You could also use "let" or "var".

Separately, arrow functions are not hoisted (they aren't moved to the top of their scope before code execution). For this reason when you call the function on line 1 it has nothing to refer to. You'll need to move line 1 down below your arrow function for this to run correctly.
